The Emoji Stone App Uses Emoticons to Teach Foreign Words and Phrases

You probably won't be able to learn an entire new language using the Emoji Stone app, but there's a good chance you'll pick up a few new words. The app works a lot like Duolingo in that users practice by reading, writing, speaking, and listening to foreign words. Of course it differs from Duolingo and other language-learning apps in that emojis are used to teach words and phrases.

The Emoji Stone app is perfect for those who don't have the time necessary to commit to taking a language course or more time-intensive app. It's also a way for those with some fluency in a foreign language to quickly and easily learn new words and phrases. Currently the Emoji Stone app supports five languages: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, and English. It's available now for iOS as a free download.
